Of the many chores confronting- the Eisenhower Administration, none is more essentia] to national welfare,
our defense, prosperity and general happiness than to formulate labor laws that we can live with. The President and
Congressional leaders have stressed tihe importance of such
legislation, arid revision of the controversial Taft-Hartley
Act is now in the hearing stage in Congress.
This is the time, therefore, when all of us should realize that whatever our job may be, merchant, farmer,
banker, doctor, lawyer, clerk, mechanic, bookkeeper or
housewife, the labor laws of the U. S. are our laws. They
affect every one of us, whether we belong to a union; or
mot, whether we are an employer or not. And ,no labor law
can be good for a union and bad for tihe American people,
or vice-versa'. Such laws are everybody's business, and deserve deliberate, careful consideration, based on all the evidence 'and experience in this field that we can pass along
to our legislators.
Cangressmen very frankly want your views as to what
should be included in .this law. They want to hear from tihte
folks back home because even Congressmen can not live and
work in a vacuum. They wa,nt tlo hear from their constituents
and will certainly be influenced by their views. Your Congressman would like to see you and talk with you on your
labor views—and the .next best thing is, of course, ia personal
letter particularly if you have had personal experiences
which may illustrate a point.
If you believe free spetech in the labor relations area
should be maintained and not limited, that compulsory
unionship is wrong, that, laws should be written to deal with
union monoply power and national emergency strikes, that
both employers and unions should be equally responsible for
living up to their contracts, that secondary boycotts and
jurisdictional strikes should be prohibited, or iS you have
other ideas on what should be included in a good labor law,
WtRITE your Congressman today! He needs your help.
Sure it flakes time to write your Congressmen—maybe
twenty minutes or even a half hour—but remember your
views could influence your country's welfare for a lifetime.
Pick up Vhat pencil and paper now and let your representatives in Washington know how you feel.
Senators Robert A Taft and John Bricker and Representatives Frank T. Bow, are your Congressmen in Washington, write them now before ylou forget, your job didn't
end when you voted on election day, you must continue to
give them your support, to enable them to do the job you
sent them to do.
Why Were Saints?
"Why were the saints, saints? Because rthiey were cheerful; when it was difficult tp. be cheerful; patient when it was
difficult to be patient, and because they pushed on when
they wanted to stand still, and kept silent When they wanted
to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quitb simple and always will be."
So spates a mottlp, hanging over the desk of a friend of
mine, who keeps it there as a daily reminder iwhen things
pile up and tempters begin to fray lait the edges. For the days
of saints are not past. The need for saintly people was never
greater than it is tloday.
Today we need cheerful people — those who can be
chieerful when it is difficult to do so, who are more interested in bringing happiness and prosperity to others than
in getting what they themselves want.
Today we need patient people — those who can wait
under difficulties, who do not need to rush through to the
end, who do not have everything hJappen at once just as tihey
want it.
Today we.rj(eed persevering people — those who will
push on when they are so tired they want to stand still,
who will carry through the tjask before them even when
heart and body fail, who do not give up under fire or criticism or clomplaint.
Today we need thoughtful people as well as those who
know when to talk and, when tp keep still. Wie need agreeable people — those who 'are trained in the habit' of being
kind and courteous even whien tempted to be disagreeable.
We need self controlled people — those who Will not fall into traps of hatred toward any group, whether it be class
or creed or color.
Call Uhem saints if you will, it is those kind of people
wie need today, and it is the kind of sainthood, that is within reach of every one-of us. It is a daily task, tx> daily problem. Try it for one day, and tihe next, and the next. You may
fail every now and then. We all do — but, if we keep trying,
the effort will become a hlajbit and wie will find our problems
solving themselves. ,
Why were the saints, saints? Because they kept on living what they believed. It was quite simple and it always
will be. • _, ..'.. . . i _,

Gov. Lausche Proclaims
March Easter Seal Month
! v.'/
. Governor Frank J. Lausche receives the first sheet of
Easter Seals from Georgie McCloy, thus officially opening
the 1953 Easter Seal Campaign in Ohio.
WM. STULL, SR. HEAD OF NORTH CANTON
EASTER SEAL DRIVE
Georgie and Eleanor Douglas,
both of Columbus, Ohio, were
the official ambassadors of The
Ohio Society for Crippled Children, which is sponsoring, from
March 5 lo April 5, the 20th annual drive to raise funds for
crippled children and adults in
Ohio.
'Specialized services of rehabilitation, medical and educational aid for th'e crippled are
efficiently and effectively administered by The Ohio Society
lor Crippled Children, and its local affiliates in this State, 'declared Governor Frank J. Lausche in a proclamation designating March 5 to April 5 as Easter
Seal Month in Ohio.
In his annual proclamation issued irom the Executive Offices
at Columbus, th'e Governor
pointed out that it Is not only
an American heritage and responsibility but a basic precept
of good citizenship and a privilege ot the people of, this state
to help icrippled children have
happier, more useful lives and
the opportunity of becoming s'elf
•sustaining.
Emphasizing that the cost of
the Easter Seal Services extended by The Ohio Society for Crippled Children and its affiliates
throughout Ohio has increased
as otherHeosts have increased
and as more crippled are constantly being reached, Governor
Lausche urged Ohioans to support the Easter Seal drive and
'thereby lend a helping hand to
our crippled children."
•Eleanor and Georgie, each 5
years old, have been receiving

al fees over a period of 25 years.
While another runway was under discussion at that time,
there is no reason to believe
that they will do otherwise at
this time.
With two attorneys Doolittle
and Wilkins on the board of
trustees, it is hoped they have
not sold the people down ihe
rivei'. For they should have remembered it is the people's
money and lives that they were
dealing with and their own pergonal feelings on the matter
should not have been considered.
Th'e so-called 'Snag' that was
reported on the East-West Runway, is the fact that ihe amount
of property directly in line with
the runway will fall short a
little more than 300 feet of the
minimum length figure specified
by the Military. However, in-as-
much as They have already set
up a precedent by lowering the
minimum lengths of runways at
airports in Youngstown, Mansfield and Pittsburgh only recently, there is no reason why
they should now be adament
and insist on the full length at
Akron-Canton Airfield.
If they should insist on the
complete length and say that
moving Route 241 would make
the price prohibitive, there is
no reason why they couldn't get
the extra length by starting farther east and move Lauby road
instead.
If the prices asked for the
land n'eeded should be out ot
the question in price the commissioners can always have the
land condemned and pay the fair
appraisal price, for the law
clearly states, that no one can
stand in the way of progress.
It is sincerely hoped by all
concerned that a favorable report will come our of Wednesdays meeting.

Proclamation
For: National Wildlife Week
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME,
GREETINGS:
Whereas, the fact cannot be stressed too much or too
often that all life is dependent on soil and water; and
whereas, wasteful practices and slovenly habits are robbing this nation of productivity of our soil and water at
an exceedingly rapid rate; and similar practices are depleting certain species of native American wildlife disastrously ; and whereas, there is greater need for more
intelligent planning of developments to secure the greatest possible values from all resources, and whereas, protection of the wildlife species, such as the native American prairie chicken, or pinnated grouse, which is rapidly
becoming extinct, should be one of our fundamental responsibilities, and whereas, the National Wildlife Federation, Washington, in sponsoring National Wildlife Week,
is doing much to teach the basic tenets on which the
future of America's soils, water and wildlife depends; and
whereas, the continued growth of human population
forces us to give increasing attention to conservation until
every American is aware of his vital dependence upon
natural resources and acts intelligently to manage them.
Now, therefore, I, R. B. Evans, mayor of the city of
North Canton, O., do herebv proclaim and designate the
week of March 15th through 21, 1953 as NATIONAL
WILDLIFE WEEK in North Canton, O., and do earnestly
appeal to all of our citizens to recognize the importance
of the problems of conservation of these assets in wildlife and to work with one accord for their proper protection and preservation, and to reflect upon America's
riches of natural resources and the importance of our
future well-being of perpetuating them.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the City of North
Canton, Ohio, this 10th day of March, 1953.
R. B. Evans
Mayor of North Canton, Ohio.

Proclamation
For: National Wildlife Week
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME,
GREETINGS:
Whereas, the fact cannot be stressed too much or too
often that all life is dependent on soil and water; and
whereas, wasteful practices and slovenly habits are robbing this nation of productivity of our soil and water at
an exceedingly rapid rate; and similar practices are depleting certain species of native American wildlife disastrously ; and whereas, there is greater need for more
intelligent planning of developments to secure the greatest possible values from all resources, and whereas, protection of the wildlife species, such as the native American prairie chicken, or pinnated grouse, which is rapidly
becoming extinct, should be one of our fundamental responsibilities, and whereas, the National Wildlife Federation, Washington, in sponsoring National Wildlife Week,
is doing much to teach the basic tenets on which the
future of America's soils, water and wildlife depends; and
whereas, the continued growth of human population
forces us to give increasing attention to conservation until
every American is aware of his vital dependence upon
natural resources and acts intelligently to manage them.
Now, therefore, I, R. B. Evans, mayor of the city of
North Canton, O., do herebv proclaim and designate the
week of March 15th through 21, 1953 as NATIONAL
WILDLIFE WEEK in North Canton, O., and do earnestly
appeal to all of our citizens to recognize the importance
of the problems of conservation of these assets in wildlife and to work with one accord for their proper protection and preservation, and to reflect upon America's
riches of natural resources and the importance of our
future well-being of perpetuating them.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the City of North
Canton, Ohio, this 10th day of March, 1953.
R. B. Evans
Mayor of North Canton, Ohio.
